    All my life I’ve been a shy person. Barely spoke and hardly approached people. My social life was not the best. Build some friendships but it never lasted. By misunderstandings or because I came to the conclusion that they weren’t people who cared about me as I care about them. All of this hurt me on a personal level. I have no self-esteem, always feel a empty and I don’t know what to do to be the person I always dreamed to be. All I want is to communicate more and be who I really am, without fear or insecurities. If someone has gone through a similar situation, please talk me. Thanks!

    Hello.

    I have been challenged by similar, longstanding issues. A recent revelation has indicated a long history of depression and mild anxiety. More importantly, I have come to see that I was dangerously disconnected from my values, stuck and spinning my wheels about “floating” and being essentially aimless. I’ve spent the last couple of years slowly working my way through the book “The Happiness Trap”, by Russ Harris, and I think it has many helpful strategies for developing a life you want to live. Especially important for me has been defusing anxiety- and depression-inducing thoughts, and articulating my values — and goals that are aligned with them.

    Take care, and try not to be too discouraged about the time and work that it will take to improve.

    Thanks Brian, i will do that. Maybe my problem is that I make some changes but it never seems enough. I admit that I always give up of the things that make me feel good. I struggle with my feelings, thoughts and accepting life the way it is.

    Hi Didi,

    There is Nothing wrong with you !

    You have identified your issue: “I have no self-esteem”. Low self-esteem usually develops in childhood when we are not given enough love/attention !!

    Please read these 2 articles:

    God bless !
